I saw this discussed on Feministe and (my icon aside) I love that take on it.
That was really the vibe that I got from it. The only character in there who actually wanted to connect with people on a human level was Penny.
Toward the end I really got the sense he and Hammer were two sides of the same coin.
*nods*
Captain Hammer is the charming man who just wants to get into the girl's pants, and Doctor Horrible is the 'nice guy' who falls in love with a pretty face. Neither of them actually knew Penny as a person (that Billy thinks that Penny would want Australia illustrates how little he knows her).
